Atlas of Science Literacy: Project 2061

• Used Book in Good Condition

An oversized book with ambitious goals: That's the Atlas of Science Literacy. Asking-then answering-such vital questions as: <P>- What should students learn? <BR>- When should they learn it and in what order? <BR>- How does each strand of knowledge connect to other vital threads? <P>This new educational tool from AAAS's Project 2061 graphically depicts connections among the learning goals established in Benchmarks for Science Literacy and Science for all Americans. The Atlas is a collection of 50 linked maps that show exactly how students from kindergarten through 12th grade can expand their understanding and skills toward specific science-literacy goals. But the maps don't just show the sequence of Benchmark ideas that lead to a goal. They also show the connections across different areas of mathematics, technology, and science - including gravity, evolution and natural selection, the structure of matter, and the flow of matter ands energy in ecosystems.
